Hi everyone. It's me, Damian. If you can't tell by the title, this is an apology.
If you're longtime readers of my work, you may recall I promised to release chapters much more frequently in summer. Unfortunately, a variety of factors prevented me from working on the second volume of Old Knight In Another World. Chief among those factors are my family watching me like a hawk.
Aside from family issues. I'll also have a lot of other things on my plate preventing me from continuing Vol 2. Namely university and the 2nd J-Novel OELN Contest.
University is self-explanatory. I wish to get good grades and graduate.
Now J-Novel Club, on the other hand...
Well you guys must be assuming I'll be resubmitting Vol 1. right?
Those are indeed my intentions. However, after receiving feedback some more experienced writer colleagues, I found there are a LOT of things I have to edit. Plus, I also want to try my luck with two of my other novels. The pair I've previously mentioned before in the series. The Weakest Floor Boss Decides To Become An Adventurer and Multiclassing Is The Best.
Unfortunately if I want to submit all three works by the contest's deadline (December 31st 2024) four months from now and want to do better in my studies. I'm going to have to make some sacrifices.
Therefore, I am sorry to announce that chapter releases will be much longer in the future.
What? Did you think this is going on hiatus? Nah, I just need to re-adjust my schedule by cutting off the time I spend on the Old Knight series. When the new term starts, my parents eyes will finally be off my back and I'll have time to write.
Still I am very sorry to have given everyone false hope of more frequent releases and chapters this summer. I to had high hopes of getting through half of the 2nd Volume. Unfortunately, my parents found out and have kept their eye me ever since. Leaving me with only enough time to write this apology. Sorry for disappointing everyone. I promise I'll make it up to you guys (and girls, surprisingly 3% of you guys are females, 25% are males and the rest are what I presume to be members of the LGBTQ+ community. Don't take me to seriously.) someday.
Until then, goodbye for now. Once again, I'm sorry.

PS: Apparently there's an actor who's shares the same name with my alias. I should change my pen name to something else. Let me know in comments on what you guys think it should be. Who knows, I might actually go with your suggestion if it's good.
